Rhea vs OMGWTF

I will contend that. Most days but not all.

I can understand that, IF the results had mostly been based on playing in womens/mens only divisions with limited crossovers between the two, skewing the results, but from playing in the same division? That makes ZERO sense.
 
So in order to make that point, you want to shut down a division, for which there is an obvious interest? Isn't that rather extreme? The problem is, you wouldn't even be making that point! The only point that would be made is that for the below 550 Fargo or whatever, a man won (in your example). What does that really mean? It doesn't even make any point in relation to gender, but more maybe towards sandbagging? If two people are rated at the same Fargo rate, after playing the same players (in APA) they are by definition equally skilled! The only difference would be who got the rolls or had the best performance on that day or sandbagged! It makes no point to the difference between genders at all! Is it your contention that after playing in a gender mixed division in the APA and having the same Fargo rate (550), a man is necessarily better than a woman?

Also I edited my previous post, fyi.

No, you are saying just the opposite of what I believe. I don't want to shut down anytjing, and I do believe the women NEED their own whatever . I was only referring to all those that say all is eaual, that's all.
 
Ok, just like a train wreck , I had to look again..... yup, just as bad as the first time.

So, I have a few questions : first, what was the prize payout for this thing? At least $2k first? When is the next one and where is it.? Everything I saw was on pat with any given league night anywhere but this was the open?? Seriously might break out the heels and hair extensions for this thing lolol and play me some Shania Twain - I feel Ike a woman..... lol so it's a part right, but rating doesn't matter is that right? So what, u have to have x #'s of match play for the year regardless of rating to qualify to play? Is that how it works??

If all of the fargo rating robustness came from co-ed play then yes you're right. But there are very few female players with many games in the system that doesn't have a big portion of them derived from female only events. Like the one we cannot unsee in this thread as much as we would like to. And for reasons I cannot explain and Mike Page will deny with his dying breath, it makes these women appear stronger than they are. Just can't fool the old sexist eye test. I have a 538 buddy here in town I will put up anything Rhea can raise to play even. It will not be close.

I like a game where both players get to shoot at almost every ball, and twice at the nine! :wink:
 
No prize money. From the APA's US Amateur Championship website:

"Awards

In addition to advancing to a pro event, each Champion will receive a magnificent trophy and event jacket.

Both Champions receive a one year free APA membership and are invited to return to the Championship Round the following year to defend their titles. Returning Champions also receive complimentary airline travel, courtesy of APA.

The winners receive paid travel*, lodging and entry into a 2018 pro event.
*Ground transportation(cab,rental car, etc.) will be at player’s expense."
 
Rhea and OMGWTF it's Deathball

Didn`t you go on the road with a pro a few years ago Rhea?

So, I don't know about on the road with a pro, BUT, what I do know is that Rhea came through town with none other than "Deathball".

This loud, crazy, idiot tries to tell me all about himself betting it up like 100-200k per session. Then, ask me to play one pocket for 10 dollars per game and wants 4 balls. lololololol.

I remember giving him 3 balls and he pulls up after losing $30.

So, Rhea, do you still hang out with this Clown Deathball?

You should tell some stories about your experience traveling with him.

If anyone would like to see this guy "Deathball"....here is a link..

While I agree that the match posted is not exactly high level play I think you guys are forgetting one thing. Amateurs is the title of the tournament.

I happened to scroll down the you tube schedule and found a match featuring one of our local women players and wish I could link it to this thread.

Its titled Sarah pitcock vs Ellen Robinson and in my opinion featured a slightly higher level of play than rheas match. If any of you guys decide to watch it or link it in in thread keep in mind that Sarah is only a s/l 5 and plays 90% of her matches on valleys.

In my opinion she shot a whole lot better than what rhea displayed in her match . Sarah won 5-2 and I have no idea what her opponents handicap is but again...in my opinion she also shot better than rhea.

Check it out fellas .

I was on the road for nearly 9 months, between sep 6th 2013 to May 30th 2014. I was on the road with 5 people at different times as well as solo between all 5 for differing lengths.

I started with Gene Albrecht, that lasted until the 2nd week of December, we cut our trip short becaus his mother passed away.

Then I was on the road with Herman Croy until end of January.

Then I was on the Road with Kim Pierce until early March.

Then with Bobby Higgins until mid April.

Finally in mid May I teamed up with Deathball. And ended up broke in Atlanta Georgia with just enough left to take a Greyhound to St Louis.
 
I ( WAS ) gonna say probably plenty of gobbling , but decided to leave " weight " out of it and only judge on play on the table....��

Why do you guys even reply to these threads in this manor? Pure entertainment, right? If you do not have anything nice to say, then why reply? Keep your ill mannered jokes and opinions to yourself (why don't you?).

That`s degenerate pool right there. To me that clip is everything pool shouldn`t be.
This is what I`m thinking about when I see that clip you posted:

Why are people so mean on forums? Would you be speaking to someone in this way face to face? I think not.

You don't know me
Wasn't mean at all, it was the truth
I'm a big boy myself so it was in good fun
You seem to be the one with the big mouth on the forum

Because I; nor are the majority on this forum, or pool room, or in real life, are sensitive little snowflakes that get their feelings hurt at the slightest little thing and begin to cry and fall to the floor and begin to rock back and forth because we heard something that " hurt " our feelings lol. Because we are men, adults, that can sometimes get a chuckle and just ignore the rest. Maybe more should try it sometime. Imo, a random comment here and there is nothing compared to someone who routinely posts 50 times in a thread - AND IS WRONG LOL!

Stop lying. I met you and you had a box of Kleenex at the pool room.
